Abstract
In the present work, a numerical elasto-plastic thermo-mechanical model has been developed to predict the weld-induced angular distortion of single-sided and double-sided fillet joints by submerged arc welding (SAW) process. The welding was carried out by using recyclable flux-filled backing strip in single pass. The angular deformations for both the cases have been measured experimentally. It has been found that the maximum magnitude of angular deformation is lower in case of double-sided fillet joint. A detail comparative study of the angular deformation between single- and double-sided fillet joints has been presented in this study. It has been observed that the developed elasto-plastic thermo-mechanical model is well comparable with experimental results.
